Notes: Sedlescombe is the home of the famous Pestalozzi Childrens Village. It was founded in 1959, on the site of 'Oaklands', the former home of Hercules Brabazon, who was a popular village squire and painter, his initials can be seen on some of the buildings in the village.
The Pestalozzi Village houses over 100 children from poor areas of Nepal, Thailand, Zambia, Jordan, India and Tibet. They come to England to learn practical and academic skills, and then return to share their acquired knowledge. The village is named after Swiss educationalist Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, who in his lifetime set up several rural orphanages for children of different nationalities.
